It is an honor to serve as the Pre-Health Advisor for the University of Detroit Mercy in my hometown. Working with Pre-Health Titans who will launch their careers in healthcare requires engagement on campus, in our communities, in industry and now more than ever online. Students have returned to campus with their peers and mentors for instruction however, they do need to network and learn effectively in virtual spaces.
Fall 2021 will require a new flexible skill set in all areas. Pre-Health Titans will have
- in person and online classes
- shadowing in person and on line
- student orgs collaborate both in person and online
- Virtual Fairs and Information Sessions
- For some hard working Titans, acceptance to graduate schools after a busy online application & interview cycles
I am looking forward to engaging Pre-Health Titans individually, drop-in TEAMS advising, and with with Weekly Wednesday Workshops at 1:00.
